Olmsted County Fairgrounds Hosts 41st Annual August Gold Rush Antique Show & Market Article & photos by Brian Maloney August 16th through the 18th were important dates in Rochester, Minnesota, for they marked the weekend of the massive Olmsted County Gold Rush Antique Show & Flea Market. Now in its forty-first season, Gold Rush fills the 52-acre Olmstead County Fairgrounds with antiques and collectibles - always with well over 1,000 dealers. Show promoters Richard & Kay Townsend have been running Gold Rush for the past twenty-plus seasons, but have a much-longer association with the venerable event. They were among the dozen-or-so dealers at the very first Gold Rush Show way back in the early 1970’s!
